The question
Will the EU use things like the new charge on fossil-fuel companies, to get money from the general-public ( instead of from private-companies ) to prevent the economic decline of the EU ?

Explanation of the non obvious method I am highlighting
In other words, will the EU use non obvious methods, like the "solidarity contribution on excess profits" detailed on https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/IP_22_5489, which 'may' most likely be passed on to the electric-power-station-companies, which 'may' most likely pass it on to the households/consumers, with the 'majority' of these households/consumers completely bearing the burden of the increase in the electricity-price and not receiving any significant compensation from their government.

Note - Some households, will be compensated, as stated in the https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/IP_22_5489, but you would think that the majority will not be compensated ( or not significantly ).

Or, in other words, since 2020, much of the EU has been surviving on reserve-funds, possibly gradually weakening the EU, will this reach a point where the EU has to regain this money ( FROM THE 'GENERAL PUBLIC', NOT, FROM PRIVATE COMPANIES ), but does not want to do it in an obvious way like raising income-taxes etc, so it may try methods like the above, which in the end only result in the general-public replenishing the EU funds.

Obviously the EU does not want to consider directly effective measures like Partial-Nationalization of electricity-companies, for  example, Nationalization of the part of the administration of electricity-companies that issue bills to households, or, change it so that it is the government itself that sends / issues electricity-bills to households ( and maybe Nationalization of specific parts of the hardware infrastructure of electricity-companies ).

Yes, after reading https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/IP_22_5489, my theory does or may sound far fetched, but posting it anyway.

Just a 'summarization', and, a 're-type' of the original question.

________________

The question
Is there any mechanism to prevent the EU's new "temporary solidarity contribution" from being passed on to electricity customers / causing higher electricity bills ?

  - The "solidarity contribution on excess profits" detailed on https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/IP_22_5489

  - In other words, what would prevent "oil, gas, coal and refinery sectors" from raising the price of their products.
